Many of these should be on display during CES, though that certainly does not mean we would actually see them on store shelves anytime soon. Last year, there was a big fanfare for Vizio's Google TV sets, which never materialized for consumers to buy. Likewise, Samsung has been a partner for some time, but we still haven't seen a Google TV product from the company yet.
Given the increasing competitive pressures, Google TV needs its partners not only to display new products at CES, but also to have them reach stores soon. We'll get a better idea of whether they can deliver on that next week from the trade show.
